The Trashman and Bug

Owen gets excited whenever he gets his diaper changed because (1) obvious reasons (2) he gets to throw the diaper in the trash, which is extremely fun for him. He carries it all by himself, all the while saying "Shoo, shoo, shoo" over and over.

He has made it all the way to the trash can without losing sight of the ultimate goal. Sometimes he gets sidetracked and/or drops the diaper, but you cannot finish for him. If he sees you with the diaper he will scream and try to slap it out of your hand.















Now he has actually dropped the diaper into the trash can. There have been times in the past where he has changed his mind at the last minute and decided to hang on to the diaper instead of tossing it. Once again, you cannot step in, you can only try to persuade him to drop it. Strong willed--shocking!















Maybe he is having second thoughts about letting go, or maybe he is just eyeing the level of the trash already in the can. If it is high enough for him to reach, he will try to get stuff back out. Thankfully, it is too low for him to get to anything.















Here he is just wondering why I am still taking pictures after the show is over.















Here is a close-up picture of Bug. She wanted her picture made. The first one was blurry, so there are two.
